Failed to verify username!

I am using an External host and anytime a user joins my 1.21.9 server it says the post title.

Here is my launch paramaters.

java -Xmx12G -Dminecraft.api.auth.host=https://authserver.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.account.host=https://api.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.services.host=https://api.minecraftservices.com/ -Dminecraft.api.session.host=https://api.minehut.com/mitm/proxy -jar paper.jar --nogui

enforce-secure-profile: false, in server.properties
proxy-protocol: true, in the paper-global.yml.

To confirm, its a blank server with only those settings changed.

My identical 1.21.8 vanilla server works just fine with the exact same paramaters and settings set in the same files. Both servers are blank vanilla paper servers for control testing to make sure it isnt any plugins since there isnt any plugins on these to elimate plugins as a problem.

Any help is welcome! I will just run 1.21.8 but i would like to be on 1.21.9 on minehut of course!

I used this guide to confirm if anything was changed or anything and it doesnt appear so.
https://support.minehut.com/hc/en-us/articles/33252734474899-How-to-Setup-a-Minehut-External-Hosted-Server

So it appears the issue lies with 1.21.9 external hosting, but not 1.21.8. Im unsure why.

My log shows this for the 1.21.9 server, but not for 1.21.8

Ignoring hosts properties. All need to be set: [minecraft.api.services.host, minecraft.api.session.host, minecraft.api.profiles.host]

However all three are indeed set as mentioned above.

Hello. I just tested this for myself and was able to replicate it. I was told that Mojang changed a lot of profile stuff in 1.21.9 so the way those session flags Minehut uses may have changed. So the only really fix I can think of at the moment is to use a proxy instead.

[sick olive]

Do you think this will be resolved in the future or is this essentially forced on external hosts?

[sick olive]

I also just tried this with a proxy on a vanilla server with no plugins. Sadly, you get the same result for a proxy. 🙁

[tight thorn]

I don't know any details about it right now but depending on the changes mojang made, it is possible that Minehut could implement their own fix. But not sure when that would happen.

[tight thorn]

hmm let me try

[sick olive]

I used playit.gg for my proxy. Not sure if it matters

[tight thorn]

yeah the external system doesnt work through services like that

[sick olive]

Worth mentioning it goes through Minehut without problem. Shows up in the list and what not.

[sick olive]

Would i have to use velocity or waterfall?

[tight thorn]

either should work but velocity is recommended as waterfall is end of life

[sick olive]

if you have the ability to easily could you test velocity for me and see if it works. I have yet to setup a velocity server before

[tight thorn]

yeah im currently setting one up, will let you know the results

[sick olive]

ty, researching the setup now in the event that it does work for you

[tight thorn]

okay just tested it and it works. so currently if you want to connect a 1.21.9+ server to Minehut, you would have to use a proxy

[sick olive]

Geez is there any easy way to use a proxy then? Velocity seems to be a bit complicated for a simple smp server setup

[tight thorn]

a velocity server only really needs like 500mb of ram or even less to run. and its not that complicated to setup. other than the minehut settings, there are only like 2-3 other things that need configuring

[sick olive]

ive never setup a velocity server before so i guess ill have to try and figure it out. Do you have any guides or resources that help with this?

[tight thorn]

you can check out velocity's official docs here. and if you have any other questions relating to it, you can always just ask here or in the paper discord

[sick olive]

Thank you for your help and wisdom! 🙂

Hey so i actually got it working! Thank you! I have one question, do you know when my MotD / server icon will update? I updated the motd in the toml. And added the server-icon from my normal server into the velocity server

[tight thorn]

minehut caches those values so it can take up to an hour for it to fully update. also if you are using a custom domain, make sure you have it verified on the panel as well.

[sick olive]

I had thought this was the case but never had anyone confirm it, thank you, got my server up and everything is back to normal appreciate you greatly!

[tight thorn]

nice! And np
